Facebook, Instagram have issues uploading images

Social media users reported problems uploading photos and videos to Facebook and Instagram Wednesday.

"We’re aware that some people are having trouble uploading or sending images, videos and other files on our apps," Facebook, which owns Instagram, tweeted Wednesday afternoon. "We're sorry for the trouble and are working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible.

On Wednesday evening, both Facebook and Instagram announced the issues had been solved

"We're back!" Instagram wrote in a tweet. "The issue has been resolved and we should be back at 100% for everyone. We're sorry for any inconvenience."

"Earlier today, some people and businesses experienced trouble uploading or sending images, videos and other files on our apps and platforms," Facebook wrote in a tweet. "The issue has since been resolved and we should be back at 100% for everyone. We're sorry for any inconvenience."

This morning's outages follows previous incidents in March of this year and November of 2018. However, those involved full outages, whereas problems on Wednesday morning appeared to specifically involve media content.
